  October 14, 2023 - Surprisingly not bad for a famous white wine maker to make a red burgundy? Pronounced nose intensity with notes of cherry, strawberry, red fruits, flora. Drinking well now and can last easily 5 years or more. Tasted at Acker inaugural Auction in Singapore.

  May 28, 2017 - Tasted at a Club 'Duck and Pinot' dinner as an example of Grand Cru Burgundy. This wine did not deliver initially showing a dark rich colour but with a dull nose that opened a little with aeration to reveal dark cherry and spice. The palate was disjointed seemingly hidden under an oak stave and really with little finish. It just didn't gel and was unexciting for a wine of this pedigree. From a time of distress and disappointment from the Leflaive whites.

  November 5, 2013 - Domaine Leflaive Masterclass with James Handford MW (Handford Wines, London): Following on from the Monthelie 2009 this showed its class albeit it felt young and not in its drinking window. To be honest it is more approachable than expected and in no way austere however still not there yet. The nose is on the darker, smoky side as to be expected from a wine of Gevrey. Well structured with depth of fruit, fuller wine and with density. Still not hit its stride though and will need a few more years , like 3-5 to be worthy of its price tag. We will not rate at this juncture.
